Pilot Aptitude Testing for Helicopter Pilots

Psychological assessments aligned to ICAO pilot competencies for cadets and qualified pilots

At Symbiotics we have extensive experience working with rotary operators on their pilot aptitude testing needs. We understand the different highly specialised environment that a helicopter pilot operates in and how this needs to be reflected in the pilot aptitude tests used by helicopter operators.

We combine our in-house technical capability with psychology skills and work with you to understand your specific requirements to help to ensure your candidates are an ideal fit for your organisations and that are likely to go on to excel in a role as a helicopter pilot within your organisation.
